A natural disaster in paradise- we can’t do anything

All the details are lost in the dark. The majors are magnified.

 

Majors during China: Sleeping away from a building, sticking to schedule

 

Majors during depression: Parents, Kingsley, Mary, Kim, Bridget, Kate, Ashley, Holly, John, hiking, walking the river, Ben, ultimate

 

Majors during tornado: neighbours, family, house, electricity, water, food, 

 

Everything has its place

The Wizard of Oz unfolds in an otherwise calm, peaceful, wordsworthrian way

 

Traffic re-directed, trees up rooted, flattened telephone poles as if a giant hand had pushed them down. Apple tree boxes like building blocks tossed around like a giant baby had been playing. They are strategically placed in the grain field.

Sheets of metal in odd places

Black solid like air

 

Looking from the basement window at the objects flying around

 

Hydro trucks working through the night

 

I was thinking about the Wizard of Oz today. Whether I had dated the scarecrow and lion before and about my tinman.

 

Kurt’s kids were watching it

 

We missed it because my parents picked me up in Barrie because I was coming back from Burlington. I stayed in Burlington because Kingsley and I reconciled. Because he was having such a good time he was leaving 3 days late. I was having such a good time I didn’t go down before. Only when I had a ride with Maureen because Shelia’s son and daughter- in law are having a baby. I ended up staying 4 days. 4 wonderful unplanned days. It just happens.

 

Apple boxes dropped from the heavens and jumbled.

 

It made me think of China. And about all the clothes I bought in the last couple of days and how they didn’t matter.

 

It was cold right afterwards…
